I always thought that Ara might be a useful platform not so much for smartphones but for all those hand-held custom devices, you could plug in a credit card reader, laser, special cameras, voltmeter or whatever you need.
- tudorw 10y agoI always thought they take it a certain distance to maintain cred, then ditch it as the last thing they want is 3rd parties hooking stuff up to their things.

The SoC is the expensive part that would need the economies of scale, but sadly there don't seem to be that many options in that space anyway.
